ERR 1UM DESCRIPTIO PLA ‘pRRIA TFRRMJM DESCRIPTIO PLANISl LlY ALL UNDISCOVERED MIDSHIPS I V 7 s UNITED STATES MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY KINGS POINT, NEW YORK i The Class of 1996 is Finished With Engine. FWE marks the end of one voyage and the beginnings of another. We embark on a new voyage having gained new insight, knowledge and experience since we were plebes. Gradu- ation marks an especially significant arrival. It is the termination of our voyage at the Academy. It encompasses all of the obstacles we have overcome and all of the hurdles we have cleared. Every step during our tenure brought us closer to this day. We have seen others complete their voyage before us, and now our turn has come. Over the years, graduation always seemed so far away, like a distant light on the horizon. As each previous class graduated, we felt the impact of this voyage and the proximity of FWE. We bobbed the distant light on the horizon. Now it is dead ahead. Time does not wait. Graduation leads us up to the next venture. Whether we are prepared for arrival or not, it is here! Ring up FWE! 2 4 I on cat A SOI not i uni ' mil 1 eve. gui reh rou, eve’ pho mm i that F friei acre guic did’ oflil stick hare here s- Just as that Indoctrination cadence goes: Now, four years later, here we stand on the threshold of graduation. Some came here to pursue a maritime career, some to join the military and some did not know what they were getting into until it was too late to change their minds. Regardless of the initial motivation, every Kings Pointer needs something to guide him or her through. Mariners rely on lighthouses to guide them over rough spots in their transits. Likewise, every Kings Pointer depends on a meta- phoric beacon for guidance through the voyage to graduation. There is a light that never goes out. Whether it be a hobby, a sport, a close friend, or the anticipation of walking across the stage in June, we all have a guide to steer us through the sometimes disillusioning, sometimes choppy sea of life. These guides make it possible to stick it out through the heartache and hardships that accompanied our years here. One, Two, Three, Four, I hope you all got what you came here for Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Four more years ‘til you graduate. 5 Each midshipman enters through thegmte at the beginning of plebe year and changes. We live. We learn. Magnanimous in victory. Resolute in defeat. Resentment is accofhpanied by a sense of accomplishment in what we have done. There is no denying the transformation that occurs to develop a plebe into a Kings Pointer. Turning through the pages of this book of experiences is evidence of the unique flavor of Kings Point. It is time captured still. The unending weeks and quarters now seem like insignificant blinks of the eye. The time that felt like it lasted forever has now swept by us. The habits and mentality acquired through our time span here are indelible marks in our spirits. Both attributes and stigmas justify our identity and our continued existence as the United States Merchant Marine Academy, for we are Kings Point- ers always and forever. During the Sea Year, we had the chance to put our knowledge to the test, to he away from our familiar surroundings and to visit exotic, foreign shores. We set forth to carry on the traditions of the Academy and the merchant marine officer. We became intimate with the sea and her whims. We learned of ships, self- reliance, and the unconquerable power of the elements. The struggle of World War II strikes a chord in the heart of mariners because of the 142 cadet-midshipmen who sacrificed their lives for their country. The whimsical perils of the sea also took the life of one of our classmates. His soul was claimed by the oceans. His spirit will be forever raptured by the mystery of the sea. He may begone, but not forgotten. IWjtHiCAN MERCHANT MARINERS’ MEMO! kctIxNTWfrom the f .r.vOtfrr;on ty v WaK WTf 'IV 'f KSOff ,flF PEACEFUL COMMERCE. UNRECo .'IT l . . .

It is a legacy for the future and an attempt at immortality. We have memories of Kings Point that we want to relentlessly hold on to and treasure. We also have memories that we cannot wait to forget. Our lives will never be the same. When we entered the Academy with fresh, impressionable minds, the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before us. We have come closer to attaining discovery, but the vast ocean beyond Kings Point is still foreign and unfamiliar to us. Our graduation symbolizes the end of a cycle, the end of a pattern, and the end of a life to which we have grown accustom. WELCOME Brv We find ourselves at the crossroads in the history of the merchant marine. The legend and the lore of the sea coexist with the modern technological advancements of satellite navi- gation and nuclear propulsion. Much of the glory and roman- ticism of the old sailing days is eclipsed by our explorations into the future. And rightly so. All eyes must now look to the future. There is where our greatness lies, not in perpetuating anachronism. The diversity of a midshipman’s life and training provides a strong foundation for challenges ahead. Among the most valuable assets attained is a midshipman’s endurance and practical resourcefulness. Arduous circumstances coupled with unpleasant situations make life difficult to swallow. The bitter pill is all too familiar and common at Kings Point. The four years are paved with nothing certain except that everything is subject to change. It has been ingrained in our minds that everything is unpredictable as life is. Kings Point has trained survivors. Ahead lie discovery and the potential to put deter- mination and stamina to the test in the uncharted regions of the Real World. Here is presented MIDSHIPS 1996, the logbook of the graduating class of midshipmen. The publication is unique. Its contents are simultaneously happy, funny and sad, much like our lives at Kings Point were. For all of the times that we felt trapped in a dark world, there was a way to step into the light. Friends, fun, and the pony system, for instance, established a fraternal bond that will never fade. The midshipmen were the glue that held the regiment together. While attending Kings Point, we were secluded in this microcosm. We put up with orders and regulations that were often inconsistent and un- fair. We were told that the midshipmen were not an interruption of the daily routine, but the reason for it. Yet we observed to our dismay that this was not always the case. A myopic mind set brews over the four years to stimulate midshipmen to deal with the shortcomings of midship- man life and tread the path, all for the sake of graduating. Kings Point mid- shipmen know how to save face, save money and save time. They have devel- oped over the four years into practical, efficient, and fun human beings who know how to get a job done. Like the salty alumni adage goes, “Kings Point is a miserable place to be but a great place to be from!” 14 w EDITOR: SHARON ACKERMAN 17 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON April 10, 1996 It is my great pleasure to extend congratulations to the 1996 graduating class of the United States Merchant Marine Academy.

Your talent, determination, and vision can improve America in ways that we can now only imagine. Vast changes have swept the world into which you graduate today. I urge you to make the most of your education and experience and to devote your skills toward helping to fulfill our common goals.

Best wishes for every future success. 20 THE VICE PRESIDENT WASH IN G TO N June 1, 1996 Class of 1996 Midships Publications United States Merchant Marine Academy Kings Point, New York 11024 Dear Friends: I am pleased to have this opportunity to send my personal greetings as you graduate from the United States Merchant Marine Academy. While I regret not being able to offer you my best wishes in person, I am glad to add my congratulations to those of your family and friends at this special time. Certainly, you should be proud of this outstanding accomplishment. As you have gained knowledge, you have gained opportunities for yourself and for the country. In addition, I particularly want to commend you for the commitment you have made to serving the United States. All Americans are truly fortunate to have someone of your caliber working on behalf of their interests. Once again, please accept my congratulations along with my warmest hopes for your continuing success in the years to come. Sincerely, AG mrm THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590 MESSAGE TO THE MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY CLASS OF 1996 It is a pleasure to extend my congratulations to each of you for completing four years of demanding study at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. During your time at Kings Point, you learned much about the traditions of merchant mariners and the sea. These traditions--loyalty, diligence, comradeship, integrity and faith in oneself--will augment and reinforce the professional skills you have acquired over the last four years. American civilian seafarers have played a vital role in economic growth and maintaining freedom since this country's inception. Along with President Clinton, I recognize the strategic importance of sealift and the willingness of merchant mariners to place country and patriotism before themselves. I know we can count on you, as a future leader in the maritime industry, to help ensure the continued viability of the American maritime industry. Best wishes and Godspeed. Federico Pena Administrator U S Department of Transportation Maritime Administration 400 Seventh Street, S W Washington. D C 20590 Message to the Merchant Marine Academy Class of 1996 It is my distinct pleasure to congratulate each of you on achieving your scholastic goal and completing four years of rigorous study at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. As a graduate of Kings Point, 1 share a special bond with each of you. You now stand ready to embark on a life’s journey where you join ranks with a proud and preeminent profession. From early colonial times the merchant marine helped our fledgling nation take its first tentative steps onto the waterways of domestic and international commerce. Through the centuries great maritime leaders have emerged from the ranks you now join. Many of these visionaries designed and developed some of the maritime infrastructure and navigation aids that have contributed to the maritime supremacy of this nation. Merchant mariners are a key resource in the history of America’s national security'. Time and time again it is our merchant marine who place their patriotism and selflessness on the line as our nation works to secure its economic and political interests both domestically and abroad. Since the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and the fall of the Soviet Union, our defense posture continues to undergo significant change with increased demands for forward presence and power projection with strategic sealift. No longer confronted by the Cold War, our nation addresses new strategic challenges in conducting peacekeeping and crisis response operations. Since the turn of this decade, regional conflicts continue to dominate the world’s political landscape. As a result, we have played a vital role in transporting the lion’s share of the U.S. and allied military cargo loads in the Persian Gulf, in Haiti, in Somalia, and now in Croatia. America looks to the merchant marine now more than ever. Your challenge in this new world order is to set sail into the 21st century with a courageous yet judicious mix of idealism and realism. As you begin your journey, may those sails you set know fair winds and following seas. And as you chart your course, may you exemplify the honor, integrity, and esprit de corps that embody the profession you now so proudly join. (A. y. Herberger witime Administrator To the Class of 1996: Congratulations! You can be very proud of your accomplishments in completing the Academy’s rigorous and demanding curriculum. Individually and as a class, you successfully led the Regiment of Midshipmen as we continued to work together to make Kings Point the very best. You graduate with my deep respect and gratitude for a job well done. I know you are ready to accept the challenges and responsibilities ahead. I am confident that you will serve the Nation well and bring honor and pride to yourselves and to the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy. God steer thee well, ‘96. Respectfully, — THOMAS T.

Celebrating Victory In Wisconsin 149 FOOTBALL Deu FOOTBALL (5-4) The 1995 football season came to a disappointing end on November 11, as the Mariners lost at Coast Guard, 27-9. The game ended a frustrating season for Kings Point. The Mariners finished up at 5-4 overall and 2-3 in the Freedom Football Conference. While this season was disappointing, the groundwork was laid for an exciting 1996. The Mariners will return 14 starters (seven on both sides of the ball) and have a favorable schedule in which six of nine games will be at home. The Mariners started the 1995 season in much the same way last year’s NCAA playoff team did. After five games, the Mariners were 4-1 and were poised for a second consecutive NCAA playoff berth. In fact, the Mariners were ranked sixth in the NCAA East Region Poll at that time of the season, which is where they were ranked at that time last year. Unfortunately for Kings Point, a 1 -3 record over the last four games put an,end to any post season hopes. In the opening galhe of the season, Kings Point defeated visiting Norwich 23-0. The Mariners held visiting Norwich to 135 total yards on offense while gaining 355 yards of offense of their own to earn the 23-0 Conference victory over the. Cadets. A 21-yard field goal by Mike O’Connell (Brentwood, NY) and two rushing touch- downs from senior tailback Dave Fillis (Bronxville, NY) high- lighted a dominating performance by Kings Point. In the second game of theyear, the Mariners traveled to Massa- chusetts and faced a talented Springfield College team that re- turned 14 starters from the previous year’s team that played at the Division II level. Kings Point gave up 35points and were unable to muster any offense of their own for a 35-0 final score. The Mariners got back on thewinning track in the next game at Catholic University. The Kings Point defense was the story of this game as it shut dbwna high-powered Catho- lic offense that had scored 95 points in its previous two games. The Mariners won 21-7. Offensively, the Mari- ners had two different run- ning backs rush for over 100 yards. Junior Corey Marker (Ft, Myers, FL) rushed for a then career-high 169 yards, and freshman Pat Corbett (Middletown, MD) rushed for 105yards. Catholic’s only score of the day came on a fluke play. After completing a short pass at ,the 18-yard line, Catholic fumbled the ball forward into the endzone and recovered it for the score. Kings Point extended its winning streak totwogames the following week by de- feating Carnegie Mellon by a 20-19 score. It was a hard- fought, back-and-forthgame in which the Mariners scrapped to come out on top. Trailing 18-13, Carnegie Mellon converted a 73-yard touchdown play with 11:45 left in the game to give the Tartans a 19-18 lead. The CMU quarterback dropped back on a two-point conver- sion try and threw the ball towards the endzone. Senior safety John Deines (Longmont, CO) picked itoff at the goal line and returned it 100 yards for a defensive PAT to give the Mariners a 20-19 lead. The Tartans threatened two more times, but an interception by. 3.15 left and two consecutive sacks by Dan Sell (Surf Side Beach, SC) in the last minute sealed the win for Kings Point. Facing WPIon Homecoming Saturday■;the Mariners continued their solid play. Kings Point held visiting WPI to just 97 yards of total offense and scored ten secondyu points to earn a 10-0 homecoming victory over the Engineers for the second consecutive year. Kings Point took a three-game winning streak on the road the following week to Pennsylvania and lost to Ursinus College, 14-7. Corey Marker scored on a one-yardplun 150 ■r minutes left in the third quarter, but it wasn t enough for •igs Point. Ursinus opened up a 14-0 halftime lead and was er threatened after Marker’s touchdown. Kings Point turned • ball over twice and went three-and-out on its three fourth arter possessions. The Mariners bounced back the following week at Gettysburg iliege. Corey Marker rushed an Academy record 53 times for other Academy record 274yards and scored two touchdowns lower Kings Point toa25-0win. Freshman quarterback Todd Yzer (Johnstown, PA) added two rushing touchdowns of his in as Kings Point racked up 378yards of offense and held the 'I for 39:57. The Mariner defense also played an outstanding me, limiting a potent Gettysburg offense that had been aver- •ng 321.7 yards of offense and 18 points per game tojust 141 al yards and no points. After jumping out to a 17-3 lead, Kings Point gave up 24 answered fourth quarter points and fell to Western Connecti- •f State University, 27-17 the following week. The loss ended a •eegame winning streak and dampened hopes of post-season ty. The Mariners wrapped-up the 1995 season with the loss at ast Guard. This was the fifth consecutive year that the home r.m has won the Battle for the Secretary’s Cup. The Mariners nbled on their first possession of the game, and Coast Guard litalized immediately, driving 75 yards on 15 plays to take a ) lead. Coast Guard never looked back and held the lead for the ole game. Kings Point outgained the Bears 336 yards to 306 rds, but Coast Guard was able to come up with the big plays •en they needed them. Despite the 5-4 record, the 1995 team featured some record taking performances. In addition to Corey Marker’s two new thing records of 53 carries and 274 yards, the Mariner's Tense also placed itself in the history books. The Kings Point eense recorded three shut-outs during the year for only the rd time in the history of football at the Academy. It was the st time a team has recorded that many since 1984. With a ented crop of returning players, the Mariners expect to return Dost season play next year. Following the season, five Mariners were selected to Freedom otball Conference All-Star Teams. The First-Team selections re Ty Bachmann (LB, Topeka, KSj, Dan Sell (DT, Surfside ach, SC) and Dave Sudbeck (C, Sioux City, IA). The Second- am selections were Corey Marker (TB, Ft. Myers, FL) and Joe mp (TE, Pensacola, FL). In addition to the players that were nored for their excellence on the grid-iron, 11 Mariners were nored by the FFC for their excellence in the classroom. The lowing players earned a spot on the FFC All-Academic Team: ' Bachmann - (Senior - Linebacker - Topeka, KS) Justin necke - (Freshman - Strong Safety - Penn Valley, PA) Pat rbett - (Freshman - Tailback - Middletown, MD) Jacob iwkinson - (Junior - Linebacker - Missouri City, TX) Wil '■ndricks ■ (Junior - Noseguard - Oakdale, CA) Michael Hom- rg - (Sophomore - Linebacker - Slidell, LA) Jeremy Lowe - iphomore ■ Cornerback - Pearland, TX) Corey Marker - inior - Tailback - Ft.

Roth, a sophorriore wrestling in the 12.6-pound weight class, placed sixth in the Metropolitan Con- ference Championships, won four regular season de- cisions against opponents from Wesleyan, Plymouth State College, New York University, NY Maritime, and had a pin at 2:03 in the first period against LaSalle. Senior tri-captain Mark Johnson (Port Townsend, WA) finished in fourth place at the Confer- ence Championships in the 177-pound weight class. He also recorded two wins by r decision, three pins against opponents from Ply- mouth State College, NY Maritime, and Navy Prep, and a sixth place finish at the Oneonta State Invi- tational. Junior heavyweight Seth Arnold (Danby, VT) placed fourth at the Metropolitan Champion- ships, third at the Oneonta State Invitational, and recorded a pin at 4:17 in the third period against LaSalle. Freshman Sam Raymond (Charlotte, NC) also helped the Mariners improve from last year’s 1 - 5 record. In the 158-pound weight class, Raymond tallied four winning decisions against Coast Guard, Kean, Western New England College, and Navy Prep, and a sixth place finish at the Oneonta State Invitational. The Mariners began the season with a third place finish at the Oneonta State Invitational followed by four consecutive losses. After finishing fourteenth at the New York State Championships, the squad went on to win six of their last eight matches and to place seventh at the All-Academy Wrestling Champion- ships at West Point, NY. Kings Point defeated Rutgers-Camden (30-21), LaSalle (33-19), Kean (27-25), New York University (28-10), NY Maritime (42-3), and Navy Prep (34-24). Wrapping up the season at the Metropolitan Conference Champion- ships, the Mariners placed sixth behind three fourth place finishes from Johnson, Arnold, and freshman Kevin Lovett (Panama City, FL) (190) and four sixth place finishes from Roth, Dan Bergen (Massapequa, NY) (134), Aaron Taylor (Mifflinburg, PA) (142), and Matt Holland (Norfolk, VA) (158). 153 •■V: SOCCER - ' • .....................................................................

Kings Point began the season with four consecutive wins including a 2-1 victory over perennial soccer powerhouse Cortland State University.

All six of the Mariners losses were by only a one-goal differential. Kings Point registered mid-season wins over the New Jersey Institute of Technology (1-0), Manhattan ville (4-0), NY Maritime (2-0), and Mount St. Mary (2-0).

I MEN'S BASKETBALL Winning basketball is back at Kings Point. The 1995 96 Mariners compiled a 16-12 record, finished third in the Skyline Conference with a 5-5 record, and advanced to the finals of the 'CAC Metro NY N-J Championsh ips. This was the first time in six years that the Mariners have posted a winning record, and it was also just the fifth time in school history that the basketball •earn has advanced to the post-season. The Mariners showed tremendous heart in its post-season effort. After losing seven in a row and eight of their last nine games, the Mariners won the rst two games in theECAC Metro NY INJ basketball tournament to advance to the finals against Rutgers-Newark. The ECAC appearance capped off what was a memorable year in the history f Kings Point basketball. r The season was a roller coaster of ups and downs that will remain in the hearts of Kings Point Basketball fans for years to come. The Mariners began the season with a 14-4 record that included a ten-game winning streak. The 14-4 start was the second-best in the history of basketball at the Academy, and the ten-game winning streak was the third longest in the program's El years. What makes the 14-4 start even more impressive is the fact that eight of the first 18 games were against teams that advanced to post-season Tournaments. While still extremely young with a roster featuring two seniors, two sophomores, and eight freshman, Kings Point came together as a team to play an aggressive and exciting style of basketball. Tenacity on the boards and on the defensive end of the court was a key to the Mariners' success. For the majority of the year, the Mariners held their opponents to under 40% shooting Tom the field (consistently ranking in the top-ten nationally) and outrebounded their opponents in 18 of the 28 games. Leading that defensive charge were senior co-captains, Brian Coyne N. Massapequa. NY) and John Deins (Longmont, CO). Deines, who appeared in 25 games and started the last four, was a physical guard who played a key role in the Mariners resurgence, loyne. who was named as a Second-Team Skyline Conference All-Star, was a leader for the Mariners on both ends of the court. Defensively, Coyne would often be matched up with the opposition's op scorer while on the offensive side of the court, Coyne was the Mariners'third leading scorer with 15.0ppg. On December 5th, 1995, Coyne became only the 15thplayerin Kings Point basketball listory to score 1,000 career points when he sank a three-pointer in the first half of a 82-34 win at Bard. Coyne, who finished his career eighth on the all-time scoring list with 1,319 points, ilso set a new record for most three-pointers made in a career. He ended up with 170, surpassing the old mark of 142 set by John Doherty from 1986-89. After the first ten games the Mariners, who has compiled a 7-3 record and a four game win streak, packed up three vans and headed to Kennedy Airport for their flight to Ireland for a en day trip over winter break. While in Ireland, the Mariners played three games, toured five cities, each more interesting and beautiful than the previous one, met a variety of Irish natives hat made the team feel extremely welcome, and came together as a family. All in all, it was a once in a lifetime experience that paid immediate dividends when the Mariners returned home. Focus on basketball wassomething the Mariners definitely did in Ireland. The Mariners returned home and won six consecutive games to extend their overall winning streak to ten games. Kith a 13-3 record, the Mariners were ranked seventh in the NCAA Atlantic Region and were in solid contention for an NCAA playoff berth. Following 66-53 win over Ceiitenaiy, which was he Mariners' ninth straight, Jamie Smith decided to leave school for personal reasons. Smith, who plans to return the Academy next season, was leading the Mariners in scoring and 'ebounding. Instead of folding, the Mariners' team unity showed its strength as Kings Point won two of the next three games without Smith. The Mariners encountered some tough times over the following seven games, as Kings Point went winless over that stretch. Three of the losses were against teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament, and four of the losses were by five or less points. While a seven game losing streak is never something to be happy about, the Mariners were able to find a silver lining in the play f forwards Ryan Bradshaw (Memphis, TN) and Sean Bradley. Bradshaw and Bradley both came back from Ireland as different players. Bradshaw, a 6-5 sophomore, increased his scoring nitput from 6.3 ppg to 7.9 ppg and his rebounding from 6.4 rpg to 8.3 rpg. Bradley's numbers increased even more drastically. as he established himself as the dominant rookie in the Skyline Conference and the ECAC’s Metro NY NJ Region. Named Rookie of the Year in each of those and to the Skyline Conference Second All-Star Team, Bradley increased his scoring from 5.7 ppg o 20.7 ppg and his rebounding from 5.6 rpg to 9.9 rpg. Bradley was also named Columbus Multi-Media National Rookie of the year. It was the emergence of Bradley that helped the Mariners auIt into the ECAC Playoffs. The Mariners earned the fourth seed in the 1996 ECAC Metro NY NJ Tournament and hosted Baruch in the first round on February’ 28, 1996. The Mariners got back on the winning track vhen it most counted. In what was probably the most exciting game of the 1995-96 season, Kings Point defeated Baruch College, 54-53, in the final second of the game. Baruch led by as many s 12 points in the first half, but Kings Point cut the lead to five as Baruch entered the intermission with a 30-25 lead. In the second half, the Mariners made several runs cutting the lead o three points on four occasions and to one point at three different times. However, they could not grab the lead away from the Statesmen. With three minutes remaining in regulation time nd the Mariners down by three, Brian Coyne was fouled on a shot and sent to the free throw line. He sank both free throws to cut the Statesmen's lead to one point. With 1:13 remaining, Ryan Bradshaw was fouled. Bradshaw missed the first free throw but sank the second one to give the Mariners the tie at 53-53. Each team had a chance for the win with the Mariners turning the all over with 24 seconds left and Baruch missing a jumper with three seconds remaining. Bradshaw grabbed the rebound and was fouled again with under one second left in the game. Bradshaw sank the second of his two shots to give the Mariners the win. . Kings Point had a little bit of an easier time in its second round game with SUNY Old Westbury. The game, which was played before 569 rowdy fans in Liebertz Gymnasium, was controlled y Westbury early on. The Panthers led throughout the first half, holding as much as a nine point lead. Kings Point managed to stay close and trailed by a 31-26 score at the intermission, 'he Mariners played inspired basketball in the second half and opened the period with a 28-9 run that put Kings Point ahead 54-40. The game was never in doubt from that point on as Kings 'oint's lead did not drop below 11 for the rest of the contest. . rr r . r , The Mariners struggled early and often in the first half of the championship game at Rutgers-Newark. Both teams needed some tune to find their shooting touch. Unfortunately for the fanners, Rutgers found it much sooner than they did. Rutgers scored the game's first basket three minutes into the contest and had run off eight points before Kings Point broke onto the -oreboard. The Mariners trailed 39-13 at halftime and were able to get as close as 12 points in the second half, but could not overtake Rutgers. Rutgers went on to a 2-53 win. 163 I' I !■ MENS VOLLEYBALL The 1995-96 men’s volleyball team wrapped up the regular season with a 16-11 overall i and a 9-7 Metro Conference record, posting their first winning season since the inception, program three years ago.

BASEBALL The Mariners ended the 1996 campaign on a four- game winning streak to finish the year with a 10-12 overall record and a 3-5 mark in the Skyline Confer- ence. Kings Point finished in fourth place in the Skyline Conference. While the Mariners final record was below the .500 mark. Kings Point showed that they will be one of the top teams in the region in the next few years. Four of the Mariners losses were by three or less runs, including an 8-6 loss to John Jay, a team that was selected to play in the NCAA Tourna - ment. A key element in the Mariners future success will be their potent offensive capabilities. After batting 'i- .332 as a team in 1995. the Mariners batted .341 in 1996. The team banged out 246 hits, 53 doubles. 19 triples, and six home runs. Three of the top hitters on the team were honored by the Skyline Conference as All-Stars. Senior outfielder Pete Gunther (Warren. PA) and junior designated hitter Craig Fishbough (Panama Canal) were both First-Team selections, and junior third baseman James Stapleton (Brunswick, GA) was selected to the Second-Team. Gunther, who picked up two wins for the Mariners.on the pitching mound, was second on the team in hitting (.363 avg.l, stolen bases (12), and hits (29), and led the team in runs scored (29) and doubles (10). Fishbough led the Mariners in at-bats (86). hits (44). RBI (28), batting average (.512), triples (5), slugging percentage (.767), and on-base percentage (.542). Through April 26, Fishbofigh’s statistics place him second in the nation in hitting and third in the nation in triples. Fishbough and Gunther were also both selected to the New York State Baseball Coaches Association All-Star Team and’will play in an All- Star game at Sienna College on June 4. 1996. Stapleton, who also earned two wins as a pitcher, batted a solid .324 with eight doubles and 18 RBI. Other top hitters for the Mariners included junior catcher David Bowe (ChiUicothe, MO) who hit .361 and junior first baseman Ed Seifert (Cincinnati, OH) who batted .340. Another factor that will point the Mariners in the right direction is their improvement in the field. • Kings Point committed 67 errors in 1995 and com- mitted just 55 in 1996. The Mariners also turned 18 double plays, 11 more than last season. Playing a large role in the defensive resurgence were freshmen shortstop Steve Berquist (Chanhassen, MN) and Sec- ond baseman Jason Teal (Chapin, SC). The two middle in fielders combined for 63 put outs. 99 as- sists, and eight double plays. Helping to complete the double plays was a talented combination of first basemen Ed Seifert and Arthur Keegan (East Rockaway. NY). Seifert recorded a .983 fielding per- centage, and Keegan recorded a .955fielding percent- age. On the pitching mound, the Mariners received strong performances from several individuals. Five different pitchers each picked up two wins apiece. Sophomore Chris Kopeck tBayshore, NY) led. the Mariners in ERA with a 3.64 average over 25 in- nings. Senior Scott Waite (Wantagh, NY) led the Mariners in win percentage with a 2-1 record. Waite also recorded one save and led the Mariners in strikeouts with 26. “The team improved in many areas this season, and I was pleased that the freshman were able to step '■ up their game and contribute in their first season of varsity baseball,” stated head coach Tim McNulty. • • « ' V -JSFmWB 1 i A In Loving Memory of Brian Thomas Patrick Roche Born June 14, 1974 Entered Into Eternal Life May 17, 1995 IN MEMORIAM Brian Thomas Roche Class of 1996 June 14,1974 - May 17,1995 Lord, stand beside all those who sail, Our merchant ships in storm andgail... from Eternal Father ROTATION OFFICERS' EDITOR: CARRIE GALLAGHER 187 REGIMENTAL FIRST ROTATION DEPARTMENT HEADS RC Charles Sargeant II RX Micheal Fink ROPS Dennis Stoehr RADJ Jeremy White RLOG Stuart Robison RPA Christian Mollitor RHBC Shayne Hare RTO William Holmgren RHRTO Elizabeth Monagan REGIMENTAL STAFF RMO L.

Today I cast off not a memory: But with a vital part of me I pay. You are the goal of all the brooks and streams; So I do join the frontiers of a brighter day. My thirst for freedom was the maker of my dreams, My joys are built on sorrows of my yesterday. Now I depart-the past is to the future cast; And sorrow makes my soul with anguish stir. Farewell, though I do ache with longing for that past; I join the sea, the mother who calls all things to her. As an arrow from the bow of life I fly, To seek a goal which I do not yet see And will not understand until I die, But one that God, or Fate, has planned for me. The stars of the sky guide my bow through the dawn, And play with the wake that in passing I leave. Though His hand takes my own, I will never be gone: I will always remember when in silence I grieve. As snow-capped ripples blend into the sea; So I enter the world and give what is me. Though just a mere drop to the ocean I give, She opens her arms and bids it to live. By DIETER W. RESSEL To our son Brian D.

Love, Adam There has been so many months since July of 92 when we first left you at Kings Point. Proud that you were accepted and going there and lonesome leaving you. We’ve spent a lot of time missing you but, talking and listening to your stories of the people you meet, worked and lived with, I know now you were in the right place a lot of the time. It will be fun to watch you go forward. As you said in your first letter in July of 92, “Just keep smiling. It makes me feel better.” Love you, Mom I’ve worn many hats representing many things in my life but none so proud as the Kings Point hat representing you and your accomplishments. That symbol on my head means little compared to the knowledge and experience in your head acquired at Kings Point. I know you look forward to getting on with your life and putting it all to good use. We too look forward to sharing your life and love ahead, but especially to the happiness that you always bring us. Love ya, Dad Charles, Life has always been a challenge for you, from the time you were young, all the way through college. But you have met every challenge and every obstacle with a positive attitude and made the very best of some sometime hard situations. Through all of this, you have made life successful and hopefully happy for yourself. We are very proud of you and all that you have achieved. The most important thing to remember is have you pleased the One who ordained your path for your life. As you leave Kings Point, you will take with you an education which you have earned, friendships and their treasures, and the memories which no one can take any of these away from you. Be pleased and thankful for all that life has given you, and count yourself blessed by these past four years even though at times it has seemed more like hell than heaven. As your family, we thank you for being a wonderful son and a great brother and we all love you very much. Good luck in the future in all that you continue to achieve and obtain. Remember, you are a person who can make a positive difference in our world, even if it is just by touching the life of just one person.

In mixed fear and awe, he turns to God for mercy and guidance. Like the yearning for prayer - contact - with a higher being, this message is both ancient and timely.

I was the victim of the ultimate “pass-the- buck,” and the repercussions resounded within me all I year long. It was a nuisance of a job and a formidable I burden, but somebody had to do it! '1 Slowly but surely, and with a loosely organized w %H volunteer staff, we pulled it off. I would like to thank B M Carl Miller, the Jostens printing and publishing repre- I sentative, for being so patient and understanding about m|| our haphazard working style. All of the editors did an I outstanding job on their sections considering the lack of I previous yearbook experience. We were like a football I team without a coach, with a coach who did not know I how to play football! Our first chance to work together was to design the ______I cover for the book with the Jostens artist, Bob Eyster. The final product is the result of creative brainstorming and compromising to ensure that everyone’s input was covered. The Opening is merely a compilation of my observations and my outlook on Academy life. I only hope that in sailing the oceans of time, whether they be calm or troubled, what goes around comes around. Sharon Ackerman worked on the Faculty pages for the book. David Carroll and Diamadis Sideridis were the Midshipman Life Editors. They really came through by being the first to complete a section. Amanda Grijalva was the Sea Year Editor since it was due time that overseas locations were properly labeled. The pyramids are not in the Far East! During the second rotation, two underclassmen, Peter Hein and Carl Roth, expressed an interest in joining the staff. They designed the Clubs and Activities Section. Neil Brown was the Sports Editor, and we had to go into double overtime to get completion. Carrie “Cougar” Gallagher was the Underclass! Rotation Editor. She typed more in one week that she did during her entire tenure at Kings Point. Cesar Nino was in charge of Special Events, and as usual he was very patient and even-tempered about the imposing demands placed upon him. Everyone knows that Susan Gardner was in charge of the Senior Section; she made sure of that! We were once the point of convergence of attention at Kings Point. All eyes were upon us as plebes, as seniors, and as everything in between. Now the college years lie behind us. With all of our loves and hates, our passions, and our troubles, we graduated nonetheless. Similarly, we are born, we live, and we die. This is my contribution to Kings Point. That these pages be preserved is my modest attempt at immortality. See you in the fleet, Adria G.
